Capping proteins promote actin-based motility. There exists an optimal capping protein concentration at which the protrusion speed is maximal. The rate of nucleation grows with increasing capping protein concentration, being as it is correlated with the increase in protrusion speed. The concentrations of actin and Arp2/3 were kept at 5 μM and 100 nM, respectively.
